Entertainment upstart

Chapter 68
It's staying up late to code words again.

I was busy until one o'clock, and finally finished writing the remaining episode scripts.

After sending them to Chen Yuan together, Zhou Xia felt extremely relieved.

Finally going to bed for a good night's sleep!
the following few days.

Zhou Xia resumed her normal school life.

I get up at six o'clock in the morning to practice morning exercises, have classes in the morning and afternoon, and write new novels at night.

Three days later, all major matters in the studio were completed.

After Yang Tianzhen joined the company, he recruited four newcomers, two men and two women.

Try it out for a month or two.

If they are all good, keep them all.

Otherwise, Zhou Xia would never raise extra people.

After all, the studio has no income now, and the operating costs are all supported by his remuneration.

After Zhang Xiaoai's contract was transferred to the studio, the typesetting of Zhou Xia's novel "Prince Princess" was also completed.

Zhou Xia simply proposed to Lu Jinbo.

Arrange Xiao Ai to wear all kinds of glamorous palace clothes, take a group of photos, and make the cover of the book "Prince Princess".

In this way, the studio opened for business, took over and completed the first job!

5000 yuan went out of Zhou Xia's pocket, turned around and entered Zhang Tian'ai's pocket, and there was only 1500 yuan left.

Xiao Ai received her first income as an artist, and was so overjoyed that she insisted on treating everyone in the studio to a feast.

Then, another 500 was spent.

Zhou Xia didn't say anything, just chuckled, as if he directed a sitcom.

After Huanrui's screenwriter team worked overtime to complete the script of "You at the Same Table", the two parties formally signed a contract to co-produce the TV series.

Then there are other preparatory matters, such as investment promotion, scene selection, actor selection, clothing purchase, props and so on.

Zhou Xia visited several teachers and seniors introduced by Xu Qian, but all of them declined his invitation without exception.

In their eyes, the 19-year-old Zhou Xia thought too simply. He almost regarded filming TV dramas as playing games, and didn't give Zhou Xia a chance to lobby at all.

Zhou Xia didn't care either.

Anyway, he didn't have these people in his original plan.

He had planned for a long time, and he got to know the whole crew as early as when he was filming the movie "Ocean Paradise".

His box of gadgets, small electric fans, fans, towels, etc. are not blindly given away.

He probably knows who can cooperate and help.

At that time, it was for filming in the future and establishing contacts.

Now that the TV series is being filmed so early, it just so happens that some of them are invited to participate in the production of this TV series.

These people are very young and have little work experience.

But there is still no problem in filming a youth love TV series that is technically not difficult.

As for the director, Zhou Xia first put Xue Xiaolu's name on it and asked Gong Chun to be the assistant director.

In fact, even Gong Chun is just a means of deception.

The real director is naturally him.

On the set, a new director has no prestige and will struggle to move forward.

However, as long as you show your due personal ability and prove yourself, everyone will listen to your command.

There are still capable people in this industry!

Furthermore, directing a TV series is much less technical than directing a movie.

Especially domestic TV series!

It takes a week to shoot an episode of an American drama, and may involve as many as 2000 shots.

There are hundreds of shots in one episode of a domestic drama!
In order to be fast, there is basically no scheduling.

Take two steps to stand or sit there, and then start chattering, just like taking pictures with Nima!
Good visual effects are all made of money and time, and nothing bad will work.

If you don’t spend more time carefully setting up the scene, composing the picture, calculating and arranging the camera positions, and adjusting the lighting, how can the visual effect be compared with that of American dramas?
A domestic drama is filmed, basically with one or two cameras, at most three or four, what is the difficulty?

A fixed panorama, and then the AB cameras take headshots to compose the picture, and the lighting doesn't care about the contrast and shape, so I just send a light assistant to take a big soft light on top to light it up.

After the actors have finished speaking once, they can move on to the next scene.

A director with a conscience, an actor with an attitude, if he acts a few more times, he is considered dedicated.

Needless to say, what is the effect of shooting.

Simply because domestic audiences have low requirements, the shooting level of "Country Love" is still enjoyable to watch.

The same is to make money, so who is willing to spend more money to produce high-quality dramas?
You are not required to shoot a script of more than ten pages a day like "Country Love".

Do you shoot three, five, or seven pages a day for the head office?
Considering the cost, if domestic TV series are more conscientious, they will shoot an episode every two or three days.

A [-]-episode TV series can be completed in two or three months.

This is the attitude and way of filming TV dramas.

As a film director in Zhou Xia's previous life, he really didn't care if someone questioned him.

No, let's see the real chapter under my hand, go to the set to try it out, schedule a few scenes to see the effect.

Let's see who else can speak!

In the name of Xue Xiaolu first, it turned on the phone in a foolish way, took the guide tube in his hand, and started shooting.

At that time, he will naturally become a real director.

It was too late for Chen Yuan to object.

Besides, there are still about four months between the preparations now and the shooting at the beginning of next year, so there is still plenty of time.

During this period, he will find a few more experienced people and pull them into the team to help, so Chen Yuan will not be suspicious.

........................

On November 9, the weather was fine.

In the afternoon, Zhou Xia took the basic class "Introduction to Aesthetics" in the classroom.

"In the ancient Greek period in the 6th century BC, the Pythagoreans first talked about the issue of beauty when they were exploring the origin of the universe, and put forward that "beauty is harmony and proportion"..."

Zhou Xia was listening with gusto, and the phone on the table vibrated.

The caller ID is Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan knew that he usually had to go to class, so calling now must be something important.

Zhou Xia lowered his head to pick up the phone and answered in a low voice.

"Brother, I know you are in class, but there is something I need to discuss with you, and I may feel sorry for you!"

"What's the matter? Could it be that you Huanrui are going to change your mind, and our cooperation will be ruined?" Zhou Xia suddenly felt cold.

"no!"

Chen Yuan wanted to make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect Zhou Xia's reaction to be so intense. He was taken aback and quickly denied it, "We have signed the contract for the co-production of the TV series, and there will be no change, otherwise I will accompany you for nothing. Liquidated damages! I'm talking about "Snow Leopard"!"

"Brother Chen, don't say half of what you say in the future, okay? It's so easy to be misunderstood!"

Zhou Xia felt relieved, complained angrily, and said, "What about "Snow Leopard"? The director team doesn't plan to use me? It doesn't seem to be your fault. There's nothing wrong with me."

"No, they are the two major investors of "Snow Leopard". We hope that Huanrui will invest 500 million, so that we can appoint you as the leading actor."

"500 million? Why is that? I can save several million compared to their coat of arms, so add another 500 million, which is 1000 million less. What are they going to do?"

Zhou Xia asked in great incomprehension, the TV series "Snow Leopard" was only invested in less than 2000 million yuan.

"Why else? I don't want to ask Yang Mi to be the heroine! I want to make this drama more expensive, so that it will premiere on the stars!" Chen Yuan said speechlessly.

"It's great to be on the star for the first time. Is the heroine Yang Xiaohu? Does she have a schedule? Also, is she so expensive? Although Chen Yi is the heroine in "Snow Leopard", there are only more than 400 scenes in total. Can you spend that much money?"

Zhou Xia carefully calculated the relevant roles and the corresponding expenses.

Based on this calculation, wouldn't Yang Xiaohu cost 30 per episode?
At the end of 2009, how much did Chen Daoming and Sun Honglei cost?Not even 20!

Damn, people are here to steal money, or they don't want to participate in the show. The investors have a lot of stupid money, can't you tell?
